I had a late Tirana the other day and on the way home we had 14 infants. Pax sitting everywhere with babies and children over two on their laps, it took us aaaages to secure the cabin and move them around (only 3 oxygen masks on right hand side of a/c). Most of these families had children aged around 3-6, most of the kids were screaming and one lady had twins about 5 yrs old, one of them refused to sit in her own seat. So her mum was trying to hold her down on her lap and I insisted that she force the seatbelt around her child otherwise she could be seriously injured. But pax just don't seem to get this and all she said was 'she won't sit down, she doesn't want to'. I can't believe people will let their 5 year olds dominate them like this! And her father was sat 3 rows back on his own and just sat there laughing!
